Names of the Corrupted
By the developer
That thing up there is called Sanctum Error. It lives in the Void Sanctum Drift and nowhere else.
The Drift names things two ways. It renames monsters you already know, and it adds new ones that only exist inside it. This page covers both.
Renamed: the prefixes
Same Forest Rat. The second one has been in the Drift.
Corrupted monster prefixes vary by zone theme and encounter tier. The table lists generic fallback prefixes used where a themed set is not configured.
| Tier | Prefixes |
|---|---|
| Normal | Duskworn, Shadowed, Drift-Touched, Etherveiled, Veildrifter |
| Elite | Rotclad, Tormented, Warptorn, Painforged, Woundweaver |
| Boss | Worldreaver, Abyssreaver, Godeater, Realmbreaker, Finalveil |
| Named rare | Cursemarked, Runehaunted, Fatewoven, Memoryeater, Gravewhisper |
A Drift boss is what the Quest Journal calls an anchor. The daily for named rares is called Name the Horror, which is the best quest title I have written.
There are also themed sets in the code (rot, ash, void, crystal, storm), with names like Rot-Touched, Cinderbound, Veil-Riven, Shard-Crowned and Overcharged. Themed zones use their themed prefixes; other zones use the general list above.
New: the Drift-only creatures
Every hunting zone has three creatures that spawn only in its Drift. They have no normal version. 87 in total.
Tiers run normal, tough, elite, named. Named is the top tier under a boss.
